Psalms 141

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, I have called You, hurry to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to You.

上主，我呼求您，請求速來救助我；上主，我呼求您，請您聽我的呼號。

2 My prayer is prepared—incense before You, The lifting up of my hands—the evening present.

願我向您的祈禱，像馨香上升；願我的手高舉，如同晚祭的高騰。

3 Set, O YHWH, a watch for my mouth, Watch over the door of my lips.

上主，求您在我的口邊派守衛，求您在我的唇前派警備。

4 Do not incline my heart to an evil thing, To habitually do actions in wickedness, Working iniquity with men, Indeed, I do not eat of their pleasant things.

莫讓我的心傾向邪道，免得我再去犯罪作惡；莫讓我與惡人同作壞事，免得我嚐食他們的美味。

5 The righteous beat me [in] kindness. And reprove me, My head does not disallow oil of the head, For my prayer [is] still about their distress.

義人責打我，算是我的恩遇，他責斥我，是給我頭的傅油。我的頭也決不會加以抗拒，我仍然為迫害我的人祈求。

6 Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.

當他們的首領被拋於巖石時，纔感覺到我的話是如何甘飴。

7 As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. (Sheol h7585)

他們的骨頭被棄置在陰府門旁，像人耕地掘田，將土塊任意拋放。 (Sheol h7585)

8 But to You, O YHWH, my Lord, [are] my eyes, In You I have trusted, Do not make my soul bare.

上主天主，我的雙目一直仰望你，我信賴你，不要將我的靈魂拋棄。

9 Keep me from the trap they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.

求你保護我免陷於他們為我設的網羅，求你使我能夠脫離為非作歹者的圈套。

10 The wicked fall in their dragnets together, until I pass over!

願惡人一起墮入自設的網羅，而我卻得以安然無恙地脫逃。
